as Viserys Targaryen

IMDb | Wikipedia

Character Overview: Second son of Aerys II, Viserys fled Westeros along with his sister Daenerys, and spent the next fifteen years wandering the Free Cities. He is a cruel, ambitious man, blunt of speech and given to violent mood swings. He hopes to return to Westeros and reclaim his father’s throne. – Wikipedia

Recent Events: Viserys arranges for his sister, Daenerys, to marry the Dothraki Khal Drogo in exchange for an army to reconquer Westeros for his house. However, Drogo does not immediately grant him this army. As Viserys travels with his company of retainers and the Dothraki people, his patience grows thin. When he confronts Drogo at Vaes Dothrak, he is finally granted his “golden crown” in the form of a boiling pot of molten gold poured over his head.

Despite the cruelty Viserys frequently showed towards his sister, Daenerys names one of her dragons Viserion in honor of her deceased brother.
